Inductive devices exhibit a range of electromagnetic effects that have to be taken into account when they are utilized as part of any application. With the tools provided by the AC/DC Module in COMSOL Multiphysics, you can model and design an inductor in a straightforward yet accurate way, as well as calculate the device characteristics your application demands.

We’ve learned how to simulate a simple bit-by-bit holographic data storage model in COMSOL Multiphysics by choosing an appropriate beam size and implementing the recording and retrieval process. Today, we step forward and demonstrate how to simulate a more difficult and complex, yet more realistic and interesting model of a holographic page data storage system.

When it comes to creating the next generation of flat panel displays and solid-state area lighting, organic light-emitting diodes, or OLEDs, may be used to help. While recognized for its various advantages, this emerging technology suffers from some weaknesses that reduce its overall efficiency. One such example is light loss, which is partially caused by the plasmon coupling effect. Looking to reduce the effect’s prominence in OLED devices, researchers from Konica Minolta Laboratory turned to the COMSOL Multiphysics® software.

Today, we welcome Managing Director Dr. Alfred J. Svobodnik of Konzept-X GmbH, a COMSOL Certified Consultant and developer of multidisciplinary virtually optimized industrial design technology (M-voiD® technology). MP3 players, smartphones, and tablets allow us to listen to our favorite music almost everywhere. While driving in a car, we should also enjoy the highest sound quality. Learn how to use simulation to reproduce sound in one of the most difficult environments — a vehicle — to design better automotive sound systems.

Characterizing magnetic behavior is crucial when designing magnetic devices involving ferromagnetic materials. Different materials (or the same material after certain processes) can react differently to the same stimulus and improper characterization can cause device failure. COMSOL Multiphysics® software version 5.2 expands the current support for describing magnetic materials and defines access to material models through external routines. Here, we demonstrate how this new functionality works in a case featuring hysteresis and review the current opportunities for modeling ferromagnetic materials.

If you’ve ever worked with the Terminal boundary condition in COMSOL Multiphysics, you know that this electrical boundary condition can apply a current or voltage, among other options. But did you know that you can also dynamically switch between excitation types during a transient simulation? This is useful if you are trying to model a current- or voltage-limited power supply, for example. Today, we will look at how to implement such a switching behavior.

We can solve many of the world’s energy sustainability problems by harnessing the power of the sun through fusion energy. Tokamaks are devices that test the practicality of employing fusion energy on Earth. ITER, which will be the largest tokamak on Earth when complete, has required years of research and a magnitude of resources. Using COMSOL Multiphysics, a group of researchers investigated whether the tritium breeding modules (TBMs) in ITER produce magnetic perturbation that could generate unacceptable plasma losses.

Physicist and electrical engineer Dennis Gabor invented holography about 70 years ago. Ever since then, the form of optical technology has developed in many different ways. In this blog post, part one in a series, we talk about a specific industrial application of holograms in consumer electronics and demonstrate how to use COMSOL Multiphysics to simulate holograms in a wide spectrum of optical and numerical techniques.

Whenever you are modeling coils with the AC/DC Module in COMSOL Multiphysics, you need to consider what type of boundary conditions to use to truncate your modeling domain. In this blog post, we will introduce the different boundary conditions that you can use and how to choose between them.

One of the most common uses of the AC/DC Module is for modeling electromagnetic coils and the interactions with their surroundings. Today, we will look into one of the key concepts to keep in mind when modeling coils: closing the current loop. If your work involves modeling coils, you will need a complete understanding of this topic.

Touchscreen technology is becoming more and more common in consumer electronics. When designing these interfaces, achieving accuracy, as well as a fast time-to-market, is key. Using our Touchscreen Simulator demo app, we show you how simulation apps can aid in the design of capacitive touchscreen devices.
